According to the findings of the survey report, one year after the outbreak, “hope” is an important keyword for people’s attitudes towards science.
The current state of science in 2021 will focus on the five key themes of hope, the image of science, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education equality, sustainable development, and shared responsibility
.
According to Xiong Haikun, general manager of 3M's R&D operations in Greater China, in terms of sustainable development, in the past year, Chinese people surveyed have paid more and more attention to environmental issues.
The survey also revealed that after the epidemic, people around the world have shown a high degree of recognition of sustainable development practices and believe that science is the way to solve environmental problems
.
Of the Chinese surveyed, 96% said that the epidemic has made them more environmentally conscious, and this proportion far exceeds that of other countries
Xiong Haikun said that in February 2021, 3M announced that it would invest about US$1 billion in the next 20 years to accelerate the realization of new environmental goals, including: achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and reducing water consumption by 25% in all factories worldwide.

In addition, in terms of sharing responsibilities, 3M has insisted on opening the 3M China R&D Center to students during the summer vacation and inviting them to approach and experience science in the past few years
.
Up to now, 3M China has accumulated more than 1,000 volunteers to participate in related activities, with a total service time of more than 2,400 hours, and cumulatively provided scientific enlightenment and care to more than 5,000 children of migrant workers
Gayle Schueller, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer of 3M, said: “We don’t wait to protect the health of mankind and the planet
.
Only by cooperating with customers, other companies, governments, and international organizations can we respond to global environmental challenges.
It is reported that the State of Science Index is a third-party independent study initiated by 3M, which has been surveyed annually for the past four years to track people’s attitudes towards science
